24×40 Garage
A 24×40 metal garage comes in two styles. The design of choice dictates the cost incurred on the purchase and installation of the buildings.
A traditional style garage with a straight wall (gable) and a peaked roof is the first style of the 24×40 metal garage. The second one is a dome-shaped carport with vertical walls like the p-shaped one. This is known as a Quonset. The Quonset is more stable and durable compared to the other one. Typically, the dome-shaped carport does not need a complete concrete foundation. This is because its walls can be set to narrow concrete footings. This displays the level of stability of the metal buildings. However, a full slab is recommended in the construction of a garage.
Prices of 24×40 Garage
A 24×40 garage is ideal for a three or four-car space. Buying and installation of the metal carport will vary depending on several factors. The wall heights, the gauge of the framing and steel sheeting, the number of walk doors and windows, and the choice of having an insulated wall or not. For instance, the cost of a 30x40x12 that has 10×10 doors (roll-up doors) is $24,336. The price is bound to shoot up if you add more doors and windows or if you raise the height of the metal buildings.
Generally, building a metal garage will cost you $11 to $16 per square ft. Compared to a stick or wooden carport which is $35 and $45 per square ft, metal buildings are ideal if you are on a budget.
Uses of a 24×40 Garage
As a store
The uses of a 24×40 garage are very many. The metal buildings can store valuable items such as RVs, cars, boats, and farming equipment, and generally store any items that could need a separate storage facility other than the main house.
Recreational facility
Apart from using the Garage as a storage facility, you could also use it as a recreational facility. Customize the space to a bar with a pool table and other indoor games like darts.
Home office
A home office is another idea that the metal garage can be. A home office separate from the noise and interference of the household members could save you a lot of time and resources used in traveling to the office.
Installing a 24×40 Garage
Installation of a 24×40 garage begins with the preparation of the ground. Building a slab is very important as it acts as the anchoring ground for the steel building and the floor.
Erect the frame of the building followed by walls. The end wall, side walls, and front wall.
Install the windows and doors. These can either be roll-up or the traditional doors and windows. Roll-up doors and windows are the best to use.
Other utilities such as insulation, lighting, and water follow up next. Depending on the purpose of the metal building, these utilities will vary.
